In a live-service game such asHelldivers 2, it’s natural for players always to want the next bigger and better thing. More is always welcome whether that be new enemies, weapons, maps, cosmetics, etc.
Having ‘more’ might not always be the best in any scenario, however. With players increasingly asking for more enemy factions, i.e. the Illuminate, to be added to the game, we have to stop ourselves and ask—are we even prepared for what’s coming?
Helldivers 2 Players May Not Be Ready for What’s to Come
Many players quickly want to see the addition of the Illuminate faction fromHelldivers 1into the game.
They’re a nasty bunch, able to teleport, mind-control, and essentially wreak havoc on anyone they see as an anime. Taking them on is no easy feat.
Meanwhile, players have been facing a ton of problems, outside of technical errors.

Poor communication seems to be the biggest one among them; take the Major Orders for example, asthe community struggles to communicate their objectivesand unite people to complete them.
Keeping that in mind, it seems way too early for players to even come across the upcoming enemies. Are they ready for what it means to take on a faction that is known to be one of the most difficult?
Communication, strategy, and willpower are some of the most important assets to have when taking on missions inHelldivers 2.
Missing even one of these qualities missing can greatly reduce the chances you and your squadron will complete a mission successfully.

Interestingly enough, a lot of replies in OP’s post seem to think the same.. but are ready to take on the challenge anyway.
Helldivers Love a Challenge
Of course, the Illuminate is going to be difficult to go up against, but who doesn’t love a good challenge?TheHelldivers 2communitycertainly does.
And, they’ve already predicted that a lot of people are going to be complaining about the higher difficulty. We can probably expect some people to spam the developers about nerfing the Illuminate.

If anyone has any doubts about how the new enemies are going to be, someHelldivershave been kind enough to give everyone a harsh reality check.
One player, a veteran from theHelldivers 1days, cleverly sums up exactly how the introduction of the new faction is going to go.
Everyone’s going to want to fight against them at first, but upon realizing how difficult they are, Terminid missions are going to see a huge boost again.
However, that’s just the start of a much longer and much more tougher battle.
What are your expectations for the upcoming faction? Do you feel prepared to take them on? Let us know in the comments below!
